it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission
i have never posted photos in this section before but here are some photos of my baby Gaffa, he is a staffordshire bull terrier cross jack russel terrier, so he looks like a staffie but has the front legs of a jackie :lol: . he was found as a stray when he was just a puppy and i have had him about 12 years now, he has been through so much. I had to house him at my foster sisters while i was sorting some personal things out :huh: and one day i got a phone call saying he had collapsed and been rushed to the vets, when i went to see him i was devastated he was all skin and bone, no muscle or anything, she had starved him to the point that his body was starting to eat itself. He had gone from a strong big dog to what the vet nurse thought was a rabbit when he was brought in. i had the choice of either pressing charges which would mean gaffa would have to stay in kennels until the case was finished or report her to the rspca and bring him home. I brought him home :sad: He is now back to his old self but still has lots of problems with his bladder etc and he has real issues with food :crazy: he eats everything like it's his last, after all he has been through he has not lost his loving nature. I have not had any contact with me sister since and it was nearly 4 years ago now.

I dont blame you for doing what you did, I cant understand why anyone could do that to any animal? Its awful :no:

I'm glad he's doing well now though, and very happy & healthy he looks too, good job :thumbs:
 
It sickens me that people can be so damn cruel. You did the right thing and
I'm sure your baby loves you for saving him! He is a gorgeous dog :wub:
 
I can understand you taking him home rather than having him in kennels. If you don't mind me saying, your foster sister was clearly not a nice individual... it's disgusting that she'd agree to take him temporarily only to starve and abuse him :-(.
On a lighter note though he is simply adorable... looks like he got the best of both worlds being a jack x staffy! :D
